    [description of suggested abort() command]

    I really do like this idea... there's an equivalent concept in Prolog
    if my memory serves.

    This, in some sense, is a modification of pass().

    pass() says, "call the verb that 'this verb' overrides."
    abort() says, "do what would happen if 'this verb' had never matched."
